This Sujoy Ghosh-directorial starring Vidya Balan failed to make a mark at the box office, the way its first instalment had done. However, one cannot ignore the fact that it is one of the best films of the year. It is one of the best films made on child abuse, and Vidya’s performance truly deserves accolades.
